blood Flashcards
mononuclear white blood cell (agranulocyte) formed in lymph tissue; it is a phagocyte and the
precursor of a macrophage
Monocyte
thrombocyte or cell fragment that helps blood clot
platelet
cell in the bone marrow that gives rise to different types of blood cells
hematopoietic stem cell
mononuclear leukocyte formed in lymph tissue; produces antibodies
lymphocyte
leukocyte with dense, reddish granules having an affinity for red acidic dye; associated with
allergic reactions
eosinophil
red blood cell
erythrocyte
leukocyte (polymorphonuclear granulocyte) formed in the bone marrow; granules do not stain
intensely and have a pale color
neutrophil
leukocyte (granulocyte) with dark-staining blue granules; releases histamine and heparin
basophil
coagulation
blood clotting
granulocyte
White blood cels with dark
stainine
aranues
mononuclear
A cen with a Sinale round nucleus
polymorphonuclear
A white blood
cell with a multi lobed nucleus
globulin
These proteins in plasma are separated into alpha, beta, and gamma types. These include antibodies
also
immature red blood cells
erythroblasts
large platelet cell in the bone marrow
megakaryocyte
monocyte that engulf foreign material
macrophage
blood protein that contains iron
hemoglobin
liquid portion of blood
plasma
immature bone marrow that gives rise to granulocytes
myeloblast
orange-yellow pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed
bilirubin
plasma protein converted to fibrin in clotting process
fibrinogen
proteins in plasma; separated into alpha, beta, and gamma types
globulin
substance (usually foreign) that stimulates production of an antibody
antigen
protein in blood that maintains the proper amount of water in the blood
albumin
specific protein produced by lymphocytes in response to antigens in the blood
antibody
anticoagulant found in blood and tissue cells
heparin
change in structure and function of a cell as it matures
differentiation
Name four types of plasma proteins.
GlObulin
Fibrinogen
prothrombin
serum
What is the Rh factor?
if a person is born with the RH antigen in their blood cells
what is the breakdown of red blood cells
hemolysis
a person with type a blood has what antigens/ antibodies
A antigens
B antibodies
A persons with type B blood has what antigen/antibodies in their body
B antigen
B antibodies
a person with type o blood has what antigen/antibodies
no antigens
a&b antibodies
A person with type AB blood has what antigens/antibodies
A&B antigens
no antibodies
What is plasmapheresis?
removal of plasma from withdrawn blood
/myelopoiesis
formation of blood marrow
hemostasis
stopping of blood
how much blood is in the body
5 liters
what proteins determine blood type
agglutinogens
blood samples can be used for
determine blood types and dna
blood droplets can be used for
clues
blood splatter can be used for
patterns
what are the components of plasma
albumins, globulins, fibrinogen, electrolytes
what do erythrocytes do and contain
carry oxygen and hemoglobin
what is the function of leukocytes
defending the immune system
what are the types of leukocytes
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes
how to remember the 5 Leukocytes
Never (neutrophils) Let. (lymphocytes) Monkeys (monocytes) Eat (eosinophils) Bananas (basophils)
what are the most abundant cells in the body without a nucleus
erythrocytes
4 major plasma proteins
albumin, globulins, fibrinogen, prothrombin
the plasma protein that maintains the prope amount of water in the blood
albumin
drug given to prevent clots
warfarin
a blood clot that travel through the circulation
embolus
where do fibrin come from
the basis of a clot
